Alan Doyle
Best Man
Alan is Mike's younger brother and close confidant. Mike gets his competitive nature from Alan and was often humbled by Alan in sporting events as they got older. Alan has been there through some of Mike's tough times and has been someone for him to lean on. Mike is honored to have his brother as his co-Best Man and looks forward to having him by his side on the big day
Christopher Scales
Best Man
Mike met Christopher in 3rd grade when he (Christopher) was doing homework in Mrs. Scales classroom (Mike's 3rd grade teacher). He had an awesome bowl cut. Since that fateful day, Mike has pretty much been the younger brother Chris may or may not have wanted. From playing soccer, swimming, lifeguarding and living close to each other in Astoria; there are not many life trials or tribulations that Christopher has not been there for Mike. And, although Mike has given Christopher way too many reasons not to, Christopher still offers-up the brotherly love time after time. Mike is humbled and honored for Chris to be his co- Best Man on the big day. Can't Wait!
Ron Sanzo
Groomsman
Ron is one of Mike's close childhood friends. They lifeguarded together at Chenango Valley State Park and often battled it out to see who would be able to wear the coveted 'swim fins' during the dreaded 'weekend drills'. Interestingly, without Ron, Mike would not have refined his manual transmission-driving-abilities. Ron remains a close, loyal friend to this day and Mike looks forward to having him by his side on the big day.
Matt James
Groomsman
Matt is one of Mike's closest childhood friends. Many a weekend were spent at his house or vice-versa hopped up on Jolt Soda playing 'Gran Turismo', 'Syphon Filter,' and the greatest-game-of-them-all 'NHL 96'. Mike and Matt remain very close to this day and make a point to grab drinks and get their kids together when Mike's in town.
Colin Cornaire
Groomsman
Colin is Mike’s future brother-in-law! Colin and Mike hit it off from first meeting-bonding over fatherhood and enjoying time at the lake. They are looking forward to making more memories together in the future.
Rob Polera
Groomsman
Rob is Mike's cousin and his first best friend. Many memories were made with Rob, Rory (Rob's brother), Alan and Amanda (Mike's sister) early in life go-karting and bumper boating with Nonnie and Poppie at Peterpaul recreation park. Some of Mike's fondest memories of Rob stem from their college years when Mike would visit Rob at University of Wisconsin and Rob would visit Cornell. Mike very much looks forward to reigniting the bromance with Rob on the big day.
